Synopsis
This volume contains ten new essays on a priori knowledge by authors from Canada, the United States, Australia, and Europe Topics addressed include the nature, explanation, and indispensability of a priori knowledge, its connection with analytic truth, its place in mathematics, in logic, and in empirical theory, and the contribution of Kant and Quine to these topics. The focus is on twentieth-century contributions to these issues, but most essays also address earlier discussions at some length, and the essays that focus on Kant also relate his views to more recent discussions. Contents: Introduction; A Rationalist Manifesto; Analyticity, Undeniability, and Truth; Analyticity and the A Priori; The Doubtful A Priori; Some Remarks on Indiscernibility; The Constitutive A Priori; Kant's A Priori Methods for Recognising Necessary Truths; EPR as A Priori Science; Gaps, Gluts, and Paradox; An Essay on Material Necessity.
